Prestolite Electric has introduced a new extreme-use product lineup – the IdlePro Extreme M-Series alternators – that delivers industry-leading performance and extended protection against dust and particle infiltration for use in mining worksites around the world. The new product assortment includes a variety of voltage, amps, and mounting configurations for extended flexibility and coverage in the field.
Assembled in the United States, the new IdlePro Extreme M-Series high-efficiency/high-output alternators also include unique technologies that help extend service life and increase vehicle uptime by enhancing electrical system and engine performance.
“This is a powerful, protected and uniquely capable mining design that delivers extra sealing against the invasive powder often generated during mining,” said Jonathan Smith, assistant director of sales and marketing, Prestolite. “The new IdlePro Extreme M-Series alternators include a robust, sealed housing to help substantially improve service life duration and our engineers also have added extra seals in front and behind the front bearing and in other areas of the alternator prone to contaminant infiltration.”
Packaged inside a lighter weight and lower maintenance package, each IdlePro Extreme M-Series high amp brushless alternator leads the industry in output at low engine speeds, while improving battery life.
IdlePro Extreme M-Series alternators also include Prestolite Electric’s Isolated Ground Technology, which protects engines from potentially severe electrolytic damage caused by stray voltage. This technology also eliminates electrical noise that can cause ghost or false engine codes that can potentially result in unnecessary diagnostic troubleshooting and increased vehicle downtime.
The M-Series alternators available now include 24-volt, 185-amp J-180 units (BLD4108M); 24-volt, 250-amp J-180 units (BLD4102M); and 24-volt, 275-amp J-180 units (BLD4106M).
